Unsp physeal fracture of lower end of ulna, right arm, init

This code signifies a fracture affecting the growth plate (physis) at the lower end of the ulna in the right arm, where the specific type of physeal fracture is not documented. It indicates an initial presentation for a closed fracture, meaning the skin over the fracture site is intact.

Use this code when documentation confirms a right ulnar physeal fracture at the distal end, but the specific Salter-Harris classification or other detailed fracture type is not specified by the provider. This is appropriate for the initial treatment of such a closed fracture.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states "unspecified" or lacks detail regarding the physeal fracture type.
• Verify the laterality is "right arm" and the encounter is for the "initial" treatment of the fracture.
• Confirm the fracture is "closed"; if open, a different code would be required.
